Remove the turkey from the fridge 1 hr before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. |

5

Weigh the turkey and calculate the cooking time – it will need 30 mins for every 1kg. |

Check if the turkey is cooked by piercing the thickest part with a skewer. If the juices run clear, it’s cooked. If they are pink, return it to the oven for another 15 mins, then test again. If using a meat thermometer, it should be 75°C and above. |
